Chiropractic is a health care profession that treats back pain, neck pain, sciatica, joint problems, sprains, strains, osteoarthritis, herniated discs and other musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. A chiropractor does not prescribe drugs or surgery but traditionally relies on a variety of manual therapies, including spinal manipulation and mobilization, to improve function and provide pain relief for patients.
While chiropractic adjustments of the joints are commonly associated with this profession, doctors of chiropractic are not just limited to manipulation of the spine. Many evidence-based chiropractic treatments, including but not limited to the use of physiologic therapeutics like ultrasound, electrical nerve stimulation and traction, and the incorporation of exercise, nutrition and postural programs, are part of modern chiropractic care.

Lower Back Pain Symptoms and Treatment Options
While there are many causes of lower back pain, most cases of low back pain can typically be linked to either a general cause or a specific and diagnosable condition.
Dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint is thought to cause low back and/or leg pain that is very similar to pain caused by a lumbar disc herniation.
As a disc degenerates, it can herniate (the inner core leaks out), which is known as a disc herniation or a herniated disc.
When done in a controlled, gradual, and progressive manner, active back exercises distribute nutrients into the disc space and soft tissues in the back to keep the discs, muscles, ligaments and joints healthy.
